Me and Ethan left the ice cream shop and were in his car. "Do you mind if we stop at one more place?" He asked and I shook my head, he started driving and he turned on the radio.
After 10 minutes we arrived at Karaoke place. "Oh hell no" I said and he laughed, he got out the car and opened my door. "No" he raised one eyebrow up, I got out of the car.
I knew how to sing but only Chloe knew about it. She said I was amazing but I didn't believe her, I was just not confident.
"Let's go" Ethan said walking toward the door. I walked in and heard someone singing. It was a guy that had a great voice, me and Ethan sat in a small booth. "You should go" he said and I shook my head. "Why not?"
"I'll go under one condition" I said and his eyes widened. "You have to tell me why you and Rachel haven't broken up yet?" I asked and a smirk appeared on his face. "You jealous?" I felt my cheeks heat up, "no, you are my friend and all. I just don't want you to get hurt." I said, his smirk stayed on his face.
"Okay. Me and Rachel been together for 2 years. She's been through a lot and so have I. She wasn't always like how she is now. She changed but that still doesn't stop me from remembering the past. When I was bullied before summer, I got depression. I thought I wasn't good enough, so she got me through it all. When she got cheated on I was there for her. I loved her, I still do but..." I put my hand on his shoulder, "I get it" he smiled. "Your turn" my heart sank and I knew I couldn't back out.
I walked up to the guy that was signing people up. I looked at Ethan and he gave me a thumbs up.
Dork.
"Can I... sing?" I told the man with tattoos. "Sure." He checked the chart, "you'll be next. What song are you singing?" I forgot about that part, I remember the song my mom used to sing. "A thousand years by Cristina Perri." "Okay, you can sit over there until it's your turn." I sat where he told me to. The girl before me kinda sucked, her turn was soon over and it was mine. "Welcome to the stage, Ava Adams!" The speakers said, everyone clapped but you can here Ethan a lot more then the others.
I walked toward the microphone and held it with two hands. I saw the screen and I starting singing the lyrics. I was shy at the beginning, I was more then shy. I wouldn't look in the crowd, I just kept my head faced to the floor. I slowly looked up and locked eyes with Ethan. He mouthed me, "you got this." I took the microphone off the stand and sang louder. I looked at the crowd and they were moving their head to the beat of the song. Quickly it was over and I put the mic back on the thing. I looked at the crowd and it was silent. Ethan stood up and clapped, everyone joined him. I smiled and walked off the stage. Ethan ran up to me and hugged me, "That was amazing" we pulled away from the hug. Our eyes stared into each other's, his eyes were hazel and soft. I wanted to kiss him or something but he had a girlfriend, let alone like me. "Thanks for getting me through it, E" he came back to reality and complimented me more.
We drove me home, "thanks for tonight" I said before entering my house. I ran up my room and FaceTimed Chloe.

I went to bed feeling excited for the next day. Why did I feel this way about a guy? Jesus Christ, my life just got a lot more confusing.
I woke up and took a shower. I straightened my hair and changed into a outfit. A baby pink crew neck and black jeans. I wore my adidas superstars and applied my makeup.
I ran downstairs and picked up my book bag. I heard Chloe's car horn go off. I ran outside and entered the car, "time to spend 7 hours in hell." She joked.
We arrived at school, Ethan was with Rachel. I stuck with Chloe all the way til lunch. I saw Rachel exit the cafe and turned the direction away from the classes. Ethan sat next to me, "see where Rachel went?" He asked, "Yeah, follow me" I walked the direction she went. "You look really pretty today" He said and I felt my cheeks heat up.
This boy
I heard moaning and I knew what was happening. I felt really bad for Ethan, "I think I know where they are" I said as I opened a electrical closet. Rachel was half naked with a boy sucking on her neck. I was actually going to throw up, I turned away as Ethan walked closer to the closet.
"What the actual fuck!?" Ethan screamed, like I said before I felt horrible for Ethan. They have been through everything together now, it was thrown away. "Baby, Let me..." She was cut off by Ethan. "After everything we've been through, you cheat on me?! Really you fucking skank, is this the first time?!" He shouted soon people started to crowd around. "Ethan..." she started, he punched the wall in anger. "Is it the first fucking time!?"
"No"
"I knew it, I wasted 2 fucking years on you! I could have found someone better. Someone like Ava!"
What The Actual Fuck?
